2000 – AMERICAN
Produced By RICK RUBIN & JOHN CARTER CASH
1. I Won’t Back Down
2. Solitary Man
3. That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)
4. One
5. Nobody
6. I See A Darkness
7. The Mercy Seat
8. Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)
9. Field Of Diamonds
10. Before My Time
11. Country Trash
12. Mary Of The Wild Moor
13. I’m Leavin’ Now
14. Wayfaring Stranger
By 2000, Johnny Cash was running out of time. He was sick, and it was starting to tug at his once powerful voice. But he was driven to continue working, by his wife June, producer Rick Rubin, and mostly by himself. American III was the third of the six American albums series. It was also the second to last studio album released during his lifetime. He was no longer touring, but he was still one tough hombre. On this album, he growls out songs of stubbornness and defiance, culling from artists who listened to him as kids that wrote in styles once unfamiliar to Cash. But Johnny had been proving for years that he didn’t care what kind of artist you were…he could cover your damned song. And indeed, late in his career especially, Cash had become an expert interpreter.
He takes on Tom Petty (“I Won’t Back Down”), Neil Diamond (“Solitary Man”) and U2 (“One”) with relative ease. He’s also not afraid of the likes of Will Oldham and Nick Cave. But this isn’t just Cash taking on youngsters. He also reaches back to older days with “That Lucky Old Sun” and the even older “Nobody” (from 1906). The traditional “Wayfaring Stranger” is in good hands, as is David Allan Coe’s “Field Of Stone”. In the second half, he even reaches back into his own catalog with re-recordings of three songs he wrote himself. Petty joins in on the opener, and even Merle Haggard shows up to sing on “I’m Leavin’ Now”. The next album would be a bigger hit (thanks to “Hurt”), but don’t sleep on American III. This is Cash at his older but still driven best. A sleeping classic of an album. [First added to this chart: 05/03/2025]

1994 – IMAGO
Produced By KEVIN KILLEN
1. Happy Home
2. I Am So Ordinary
3. Saturn Girl
4. Watch The Woman’s Hands
5. Bethlehem
6. Chiaroscuro
7. Black Boots
8. Oh John
9. Our Revenge
10. Dear Gertrude
11. Hitler’s Brothers
12. She Can’t Feel Anything Anymore
13. Garden Of Eden
14. The Ladder
Paula Cole gained label attention as a backup singer for Peter Gabriel in the early nineties. She would have great success with her album This Fire…but first, there was her debut album, 1994’s Harbinger. If you’ve followed Cole’s career at all, you know that she is rarely the same person from album to album, which has been her ultimate downfall. The same exciting singer who gave us the Dawson’s Creek theme (“I Don’t Want To Wait”) and the amazingly bright single “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” on her next album was a scowling, dark and depressing tortured artist just two years earlier. Rumor has it that this album makes even the best shoegaze bands cry.
And to make matters even more depressing, right after this was released, her label (Imago) went out of business, meaning that Harbinger got pretty much zero support. Which turns out to be okay…while this isn’t terrible, the only track really worth hearing more than once is “I Am So Ordinary”…which hardly inspires a party. There are some good moments here, and the seeds of the much finer This Fire are indeed planted here…but ultimately, Harbinger is an average downer of a record. Cole followed up her excellent second album by completely changing course again and alienating her fans…but at least we have that album. Paula Cole is a fine talent who just never seemed to figure out what she wanted to sound like. Too bad for her, and for us. [First added to this chart: 01/30/2025]

1970 – ELEKTRA
Produced By PAUL A ROTHCHILD
1. House Announcer
2. Who Do You Love
3. Alabama Song
4. Backdoor Man
5. Love Hides
6. Five To One
7. Build Me A Woman
8. When The Music’s Over
9. Close To You
10. Universal Mind
11. Petition: The Lord With Prayer
12. Dead Cats, Dead Rats
13. Break On Through #2
14. Lions In The Street
15. Wake Up
16. A Little Game
17. The Hill Dwellers
18. Not To Touch The Earth
19. Names Of The Kingdom
20. The Palace Of Exile
21. Soul Kitchen
Absolutely Live is the only live album released by The Doors during the lifetime of Jim Morrison, and the only one to come out during the active career of the band. It came out in 1970, between the albums Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman. There are some real positives here. Absolutely Live showcases the instrumental abilities of guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and it features a handful of songs not on their studio albums. It also includes the full performance of “Celebration Of The Lizard” (tracks 14 through 20). And there are spots where Morrison sounds great. But there are also places where he sounds like he couldn’t care less about what was going around him. And, of course, as goes Morrison, so go The Doors.
Producer Paul Rothchild has said that there are around 2000 edits on this album. He would have to sometimes piece together one song from multiple shows because he couldn’t get complete takes that were solid enough. The idea was to get the ultimate Doors live experience, but that doesn’t seem to be what they honestly got. Truth is, Absolutely Live is at it’s best when Morrison isn’t singing…or talking, or screaming (the lead vocal on “Close To You” is actually by Manzarek). “When The Music’s Over” is the high point, with Morrison interacting with the crowd perfectly and the band in a complete frenzy. Absolutely Live is, ultimately, a hit and miss affair. Great one moment, flat the next. It’s a live rollercoaster, interesting and important because of who it is. Not their best work, but worth at least a listen. [First added to this chart: 02/07/2025]

BEACH HOUSE
TEEN DREAM
2010 – SUB POP
Produced By CHRIS COADY & BEACH HOUSE
1. Zebra
2. Silver Soul
3. Norway
4. Walk In The Park
5. Used To Be
6. Lover Of Mine
7. Better Times
8. 10 Mile Stereo
9. Real Love
10. Take Care
At the dawn of the 2010’s, you would have been hard pressed to find a band with more promise than Beach House. This dream pop duo from Baltimore opened the decade by going all out with their third album, Teen Dream. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally are not going to blow your doors off, which is fine. That’s not what this kind of music is for. What you get is layers of guitars, keyboards, and vocals woven into beautiful hypnotic songs that is quite stunning. Teen Dream was maybe the best album of 2010…it’s one of the finest albums of all time. Well, why haven’t I heard about it? Probably because dream pop isn’t music that tops the charts or gets massive attention. Too bad. Because this is gorgeous.
“Zebra” and “Used To Be” might be Beach House’s best songs. Also quite notable are “Norway”, “10 Mile Stereo”, and “Lover Of Mine”. Legrand’s echoing vocals are a perfect fit, and instrumentally, this college educated duo knocks it out of the park. Teen Dream is lush and full, sounding both delicate and massive at the same time. Their next album, 2012’s Bloom, was almost as amazing: a truly powerful one-two punch. This is as good as this kind of music can be: Beach House deserves much more praise than they get. They are still at it, having released eight albums to date. Definitely an album to take a chance on: the rewards here are most plentiful. [First added to this chart: 02/14/2025]

2005 – PHILO
Produced By GURF MORLIX
1. The Beauty Way
2. Rock And Roll Gypsies
3. Dallas After Midnight
4. Torn In Two
5. Drivin’ Wheel
6. This Mornin’ I Am Born Again
7. Dust Of The Chase
8. Roll And I Tumble
9. Cooler-N-Hell
10. Choctaw Bingo
One of my biggest country influences and heroes. If every country album sounded like a Ray Wylie Hubbard album, I would be the happiest country fan on the planet. He first gained fame in 1973 when Jerry Jeff Walker had a hit with his “Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother”, and his star and his legend has grown steadily ever since. He sings beautiful songs…and then he’ll scare you to death with some dark portraits of life you thought you’d never hear. Delirium Tremolos is Hubbard’s 12th album, and it’s about as perfect as can be. This is an outlaw country classic, filled with amazing tracks like “This Mornin’ I Am Born Again”, “Dallas After Midnight”, and “Cooler-N-Hell”.
And then there’s “Choctaw Bingo”, and eight plus minute journey to a family reunion of meth cookers and moonshiners. In other words…the outlaw country “Stairway”. This song alone is worth the price of the album, heavy, dark, hilarious and fully believable. It’s Hubbard’s crowning achievement, and the perfect cap to a perfect album. Ray Wylie is cruising in his seventies now, but his legend as a songwriter and performer continues to grow. Delirium Tremolos is deliciously perfect. And the players…he has guests like James McMurtry, Slaid Cleaves, Cody Canada, Patty Griffin, Ian McLagan and more. You can’t go wrong with anything by Ray Wylie, but Delirium Tremolos is truly exceptional. [First added to this chart: 02/22/2025]
